This book is the first of a three-volume study of the structures and objects discovered during nine seasons of excavations (2017–2025) within the Ramesses II temple precinct conducted under the direction of Sameh Iskander. Volume One contains five chapters organised in two parts; the first presents in three chapters a clear understanding of the precinct site, its extant architectural mud-brick structures outside the stone temple, and a careful investigation of the archaeological objects and ceramic data obtained from the excavation. The second part focuses on the data obtained from the excavation of a mysterious mixed deposit of materials that were brought from unknown locations and dumped in one of the temple’s magazines (S15). This deposit offers new insights into our understanding of Abydos, a site rich in historical and archaeological significance.
